6-5-38 Viburnum lentago & 6-1-88. Lvs dark green
& rather shining above, pale beneath. They look glabrous
on both sides but (20x) show minute appressed white hairs, two
from same point thus — . Mid rib and new growth of
wing have occasional rusty hairs besides. Since
lvs are not "silby downy" with brownish hairs as in
C. Amonum nor twigs "bright red purple" as in
C. stolonifera, this seems only possibility. Lvs taper-
pointed; base acute as in ill (30 B). See also Keeler
854. Petioles now reddish. Very young lvs tinged red-
dish. Stems grayish brown but (as regards twigs)
no more smooth than in the other 2a species 6-5-38
[7-28-38 leaves fr. Peduncles pedicels red. Dried ones
common in woods. Fr. not frequent.
6-5-38 Penstemon linearis Willd G 722; BvB III 182
See W.Fq N.Y. Pl 198. F.L. Roadside southward. Sterile stamen
visible at tip of corolla, its yellow hairs suggesting a
stigma.
6-5-38 Salix
Fr. 2 trees Roadside southward.
Using key in BvB I 591: Capsule glabrous (: T-14); pedicels
parsb .7mm and about twice the length of gland (:. not 1-5);
lns not glabrous from the first G p22 nor petioles
glandular BvB (:. not 6). Bracts(mostly fallen) are
at least
yellowish brown, twice as long pedicel, hairy on
edges at base in back but not on inside (probably
thus 7-10). Not & because teeth are fine and
